Kim Boo-kyum
[2] Kim had earlier stood for mayor of Daegu in the 2014 local elections, and received 40 per cent of the vote, a number seen at the time as unusually large in the conservative stronghold.[11] No candidates were elected, except Park Hyung-oh that contested for Shinan,[12] who immediately joined the Peace Democratic Party (PDP) due to the pre-agreement.[11] He served as the Deputy Spokesperson of the party, however, was arrested on 18 November after it was revealed that Kim received 5,000,000 won (£3,240) from a North Korean spy named Lee Seon-shil during the 1988 election.[9][10] According to Park Jie-won, the then Senior Deputy Spokesperson, Kim borrowed the money from Lee through his mother-in-law, but paid it back after the election.[16][17] Despite the knowledge that President Moon Jae-in was reported to prefer a female prime minister, Kim was considered one of the potential candidates for the position.
